Summary

To examine the effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability exercises with and without Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on balance, proprioception, and functional performance in badminton players with lateral ankle sprain.

Conditions

  • Ankle Sprain
  • Lateral Ankle Sprain
  • Lateral Ankle Instability
  • Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
  • Balance
  • Proprioception

Interventions

OTHER

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization with Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation

The intervention was progressively advanced over six weeks. Baseline treatment included warm-up exercises, stretching, and basic balance training with rhythmic auditory cues. During Week 2, participants performed DNS breathing and core stabilization exercises, proprioceptive training, and Theraband ankle strengthening. In Week 4, advanced DNS postures, dynamic balance, and functional movement exercises were introduced with increased rhythmic cueing. By Week 6, participants progressed to advanced DNS exercises, unilateral balance and hopping drills, agility training, and badminton-specific movements synchronized with rhythmic auditory stimulation to enhance neuromuscular control and functional performance.

OTHER

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Alone

The intervention was progressively advanced over six weeks. Baseline treatment included warm-up exercises, stretching, and basic balance training. During Week 2, participants performed DNS breathing and core stabilization exercises, proprioceptive training, and Theraband ankle strengthening. In Week 4, advanced DNS postures, dynamic balance, and functional movement exercises were introduced. By Week 6, participants progressed to advanced DNS exercises, unilateral balance and hopping drills, agility training, and badminton-specific movements to enhance neuromuscular control, balance, and functional performance.
